Global Settings Page – Documentation ​

This page controls system‑wide behaviour for MinuteView. It is divided into four sections:

  1. General
  2. Authentication Integrations
  3. API Configuration (Legacy)
  4. Search Connection

1. General ​

Preferred Login (Picklist: MinuteView | Autodesk Vault) ​

Determines which login experience is shown on the Home page.

  • MinuteView – Uses the native MinuteView login page.
  • Autodesk Vault – Authenticates the MinuteView session against Autodesk Vault credentials. Only relevant for "MinuteView for Vault" customers.

Job Logs Lifespan (Number of Days) ​

  • Default: 365
  • Controls how long debug/job history logs are retained.
  • These logs appear in Console → Job History. Entries older than the specified lifespan are purged.

Service Account Selection (AI Assistant) ​

  • Choose a preconfigured service account from Console → Service Accounts.
  • This must be an AI service account (e.g., OpenAI) and is used by the PowerShell Editor’s embedded assistant. Example name: PowerShell AI Service Account.

Automations Engine URL ​

  • Points MinuteView to the Automations API server.
  • Required if you are using the Automations module; set this to the base URL where your Automations Engine is hosted.

2. Authentication Integrations (Autodesk Vault Only) ​

If Preferred Login is set to Autodesk Vault, provide:

  • Autodesk Vault URL – Base URL for your Vault server.
  • Vault Name – The specific Vault database to authenticate against.

These values enable MinuteView to validate users via Autodesk Vault.

3. API Configuration (Legacy) ​

Status: Scheduled for decommissioning. Functionality will be superseded by the Automations Engine.

Legacy PowerShell REST endpoints (still operational):

Endpoints ​

  • [HttpGet] /api/AdskVault/ListData

    • Returns: JSON formatted by PowerShell.
    • Injects request parameters into the PowerShell runspace: (Request parameters are injected into the PowerShell runspace.)

  • [HttpPost] /api/AdskVault/PostData

    • Returns: JSON formatted by PowerShell.
    • Injects variables: (The POST body object is also injected into the PowerShell runspace.)

  • [HttpGet] /api/retrieval/Download

    • Streams a file download.

Authenticate Public Endpoints (True/False Switch) ​

  • When ON, the three endpoints above require an authenticated MinuteView session (via any enabled login method).
  • When OFF, the endpoints are publicly accessible (no login required).

4. Search Connection (Mesh Setup) ​

Configuration for Mesh search capabilities. Two service accounts must be defined in Console → Service Accounts:

  1. Elasticsearch Service Account

    • Used by the server to connect to Elasticsearch for indexing and querying.

  2. AI Service Account

    • Enables AI-driven interactions with search results (e.g., summarising hits, refining queries) throughout the Mesh UI.

Ensure both accounts are active and credentials are valid to guarantee full Mesh functionality.
